About the Item

THE FOUR CARDINAL POINTS Rosenthal Kunstmöbelreihe This noteworthy design is the work of Bjørn Wiinblad. The furniture pieces were produced in a limited edition of 300 in 1976. Each table and chair is an original print, rendering each piece a unique entity. The prints were produced by hand under the artist's supervision at the Herbert Geier screen printing studio in Ingolstadt, Southern Germany. The serigraphy technique was employed, utilizing 18 colors. Each item is individually signed and numbered in accordance with the artist's specifications, as outlined in the original contract. The collection comprises a nine-piece ensemble, consisting of eight chairs and a substantial dining table. The material is a black lacquered hardwood. The set is in remarkable condition and, in this author's estimation, is the most well-preserved set of Wiinblads' "The Four Cardinal Points" art furniture that can be found worldwide. The dimensions of the set are as follows: the diameter of the dining table is 145 centimetres, and its height is 72 centimetres - the tableboard is reversible. The chairs have a seat height of 45 centimetres, a depth of 45 centimetres, a width of 43 centimetres, and a total height of 111 centimetres. About the artist: Bjørn Wiinblad (1918-2006) is regarded as an artist of considerable versatility, continually reinterpreting himself and his work in pursuit of novel avenues and materials for embellishment. Fairytale designs imbued with a sense of joy. Björn Wiinblad's creative output was characterised by a multifaceted approach to artistic expression. He painted oriental ladies and mythical creatures, creating works that evoke joy, fairy tales, and fantasy at a time when minimalism was prevalent. Wiinblad made significant contributions to various artistic disciplines, demonstrating a lifelong dedication to decoration through painting. His unwavering creativity, exuberant Oriental style, and exceptional talent established him as a seminal figure in Danish art, celebrated for his multifaceted contributions to the visual arts. The Danish artist Bjørn Wiinblad, illustrator, and ceramicist, evinced an early proclivity for artistic pursuits. He was born in Copenhagen in 1918. He pursued studies in fine art at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen, graduating in 1943. In 1946, he commenced employment with the Danish pottery Nymølle, which he subsequently assumed control of in 1976. In 1952, he established his own design studio and subsequently commenced employment with the German porcelain manufacturer Rosenthal. In 1957, he was promoted to the position of lead designer for Rosenthal, which provided him with the opportunity to travel throughout Europe and gain international recognition. In contrast to his contemporaries, who were preoccupied with functional aesthetics, Wiinblad's style was characterized by a delicate and romantic sensibility, with a proclivity for rich colors and undulating lines. These elements were frequently inspired by the fairy tale tradition. His dedication to soulful ceramic design is exemplified by the iconic Magic Flute series (1959) for Rosenthal, a meticulously crafted table service that pays homage to Mozart's opera The Magic Flute. Additional noteworthy designs for Rosenthal include the Romance series (1959), the 1001 Nights series (1969), and the Quatre Couleurs series (Sixties). While Wiinblad is primarily recognized for his contributions to ceramic design, he also engaged with a diverse range of other artistic mediums. In 1947, he was commissioned by the American Embassy in Paris to design a series of posters. Concurrently, he initiated his career as a costume and set designer for the Royal Theater in Copenhagen, creating designs for Lysistrata (1949), Undine (1962), and Hans Christian Andersen's The Swineherd (1969). Wiinblad's oeuvre is represented in numerous museums and permanent collections across the globe, including the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the National Museum in Stockholm. shipping:: Shipping :: I'd be more than happy to offer you the most competitive shipping option if you just provide me with your postcode!
